Armand told the truth

the crazy thing is the entire episode really is about loustat and there's gonna be that corner of the fandom who will whine and catastrophize no matter what, but like the whole entire point is still loustat. it's crazy how poignant the crater left behind by louis is. the entire episode lestat is running from the gaping wound in the shape of his broken family. louis is hardly on screen and yet his shadow shapes the entire episode. even the presence of gabrielle is about the absence of the love lestat needs from louis

i do love how Lestat is like "I NEVER had a fuckass bob! NEVER!"

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

The thing about the Witch Hat Atelier world is that the magic system sounds great until you realize it's essentially programming and that sobers you up immediately. Sure, maybe you reach the level of skill needed to draw perfect curves, straight lines, and circles without looking down, but after that you still need to be able to logic out which combination of sigils will actually give you the desired effect, and if you misplace a single line it all goes to shit. Add to that the inclusion of effect-altering inks and you start to understand why Olruggio is Like That.
